Emperor’s Club, The

A remedial-course version of Dead Poets Society, this manages just enough good will of its own to excuse any lack of innovation. Kevin Kline stars as William Hundert, one of those boarding-school instructors who spends so much time inspiring his students you wonder if he ever does any actual teaching. Watching him may feel a bit like repeating a grade, but at least it was a grade you probably enjoyed.
